Mistakes of a First-Time DM
This is a tale of my first-time DMing, much less playing, a game of D&D with first-time players, who were members of my family. The party consisted of:
Rock Gnome Druid, Zindira Gobblefirn (Sister)
Half-Orc Barbarian, Sotark (Brother-in-law, bonus points if you can guess who he based his character on)
Half-Elf Ranger, Legless (Bother)
Wood Elf Druid, Gaulia (Sister-in-law)
Being that this was our first time playing, and that not everyone had time to read the Players Handbook (BiL and I being the only ones who showed open interest in the game), we decided to play with some loose rules in an improvised setting. Basically, when it came to rolls, I would allow them to roll their dice (I am a dice goblin, so I had plenty to spare), add their modifiers if needed, and then I would roll a D20 against their numbers. If their roll was greater, then they would succeed, while if my roll was greater, they would fail their check, though I tried to keep the consequences from being too

The MineTime Minecraft server that I play on has their Skyblock down for a reset. This means that ALL of my work will be gone. My house, garden, skydock, and my airship all gone. This means that I need to basically rebuild it all when Skyblock comes back online. Hooray... B(Link: https://www.minetime.com/threads/skyblock-reset.14985/
I have an idea for a group of stories and videos of Lego Trains. It centers on four Lego locomotives on a line called the Lego Central Railroad. Each locomotive will have stories about their past and present events. The locomotives are:1) A 4-4-0 experiment: William Iron-horse2) Emerald Night Class #11991: Esmeralda Nightingale3) Former Maersk #10234: Markus4) A Unique Diesel Switcher: "Little Red".(Note: For me, a Lego Locomotive model is a Locomotive Class, with the first of the class being the set/model number.)Snapshots of these Lego locomotives can be found in two Facebook Groups:1) Lego Train Fan Club2) The Lego Central Railroad Club
It really means a lot to me! It'd be really cool if you checked out some of my other art as well, and maybe even consider watching me if you wanna see more like it!
